Pictures and Pages: Illustrators of El Dorado County celebrates the local vibrant tradition of illustration, highlighting artists who transform stories into images and ideas into visual narratives. Through drawings, paintings, prints, and mixed-media works, the exhibition explores how illustrators shape the way we experience books, magazines, posters, and digital storytelling.

The featured artists represent a wide range of styles and approaches, from whimsical and narrative driven imagery to bold graphic compositions and finely detailed works on paper. Together, their artwork reveals the many roles illustration plays in contemporary culture: bringing children’s stories to life, communicating complex ideas, documenting local landscapes and communities, and sparking imagination across generations.

By showcasing illustrators who live and work in El Dorado County, Pictures and Pages also highlights the region as a creative home for artists whose work bridges literature and visual art. The exhibition invites visitors to look closely at the craft of illustration—where line, color, and composition work together to create worlds that exist both on the page and in the viewer’s imagination.

The exhibition includes the work of: John Babcock, Robin Center, Tiffany Dow Thomas, Carol Mathis, and Caitlin Thompson.
